When you add a discount, you select the discount type:
The Toast platform supports the following types of discounts.
- Fixed and open currency amount and percent discounts
-
You can configure discounts that reduce the price of a check or an item by either a specific currency amount or by a specific percent. The currency amount or percent value is either configured in the discount, or set by the restaurant employee when they apply the discount.
-
A fixed amount discount (Fixed $ Off) reduces the price of a check or item by a preconfigured currency amount.
-
A fixed percent discount (Fixed % Off) reduces the price of a check or item by a preconfigured percent.
-
An open amount discount (Open $ Off) reduces the price of a check or item by a currency amount that a restaurant employee chooses.
-
An open percent discount (Open % Off) reduces the price of a check or item by a percent that a restaurant employee chooses.
For information about configuring fixed and open discounts, see Configuring fixed or open amount or percent discounts.

- BOGO discounts
-
A BOGO (Buy One Get One) discount applies to certain menu items in a check when other menu items are also selected in the same check.
For example, you might configure a discount that reduces the price of a bottled drink if a guest also purchases two large pizzas. If a guest buys two large pizzas, the guest gets a bottled drink for 50% less than the normal price.
A BOGO discount includes one or a combination of required items (also referred to as buy items) and discounted items (also referred to as get items).
For more information on configuring BOGO discounts, see Configuring a BOGO discount.
- Combo discounts
-
You can configure combo discounts that apply to one or a combination of required items in a check. A combo discount reduces the price of all the required items to a set currency amount.
For example, you might configure a discount that applies to the combination of a lunch salad and a fountain drink. That combo discount might reduce the price of both items to a total of $7.00.
